|
||
| |
|
||
| 1951 - Twelve witnesses flying in an airliner, including two men name |
|
||
| Bicknell and Merrifield, while flying near Mount Kilimanjaro in |
|
||
| Tanzania sighted a 200 foot long bullet shaped UFO at 7:20 a.m. At |
|
||
| one end of the object was a square-cut, vertical fin. The body of the |
|
||
| craft was a dull silver cover, but at intervals along the fuselage |
|
||
| were dark vertical bands. The object hovered over Mount Kilimanjaro |
|
||
| for several minutes, then moved away fast towards the east at an |
|
||
| estimated speed of 1,000 km per hour. They took a photograph of it. |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1952 - A reddish-orange fireball zig-zagged for 15 minutes over |
|
||
| Corona, California shortly after 6:00 p.m. In addition to zigzagging |
|
||
| the ball of light swooped up and down. There were three witnesses. |
|
||
| The case was listed as an unknown by Project Blue Book. At 8:00 p.m. |
|
||
| three or more green balls of light stopped in midair in Richmond, |
|
||
| California. They then shot away to the south-southwest toward San |
|
||
| Francisco. (Sources: (1) Project Blue Book files counted in official |
|
||
| statistics, case # 2364; (1) & (2) Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
|
||
| 1952: January-May, p. 18). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1956 - An Eastern Airlines flight crew reported that a white |
|
||
| nocturnal light buzzed their plane over Houston, Texas at 6:07 p.m., |
|
||
| and then paced them for 28 minutes. A Project Blue Book unknown. |
|
||
| (Sources: Project Blue Book "unidentified" case #3977; Robert |
|
||
| Gribble, MUFON UFO Journal, February 1992, p. 15; Don Berliner, |
|
||
| Project Blue Book Unknowns, p. 25). |
|
||
| |
|
||
| 1962 - Three commercial fishermen driving south on the Dauphin Island |
|
||
| Toll Bridge Causeway in Alabama saw a reddish-orange object to the |
|
||
| south at about 10° elevation at 6:00 p.m. It changed shape from a |
|
||
| round spherical object to an ellipsoidal, football shape, and then |
|
||
| became covered with a (possibly artificially produced) fog.The object |
|
||
| was estimated to be about one-third the apparent diameter of the sun. |
|
||
| They stopped the car to call Dauphin Island AFS radar site (693rd |
|
||
| Radar Squadron), which by coincidence happened to have two airmen |
|
||
| driving north on the causeway in the opposite direction, and who also |
|
||
| saw the object to the west. It was therefore possible to triangulate |
|
||
| the object's location at about 30°16' N, 88° 10' W, and between 2-5 |
|
||
| miles away from the civilian observers; the object's actual size was |
|
||
| computed to be at least 30 feet in length. No radar contact was |
|
||
| reported. Venus had set 30 minutes earlier. (Sources: Robert D. Boyd, |
|
||
| A Comparative Unit, p. 89; UNICAT, case # 449; Francis Ridge, |

||
| |
|
||
| 1964 - On this evening in Gum Creek, South Australia Mrs. Player saw |
|
||
| a yellow glowing domed disc-shaped object approach, and then hover |

|
||
| craft a man could be seen standing at "wooden railing". (Sources: |

|
||
| |
|
||
| 1967 - At 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Rigel watched a gun-metal |
|
||
| gray blunt oval shaped disc, about 25 feet in diameter with a rough |
|
||
| bottom, hovering at 20 feet altitude over a plaza in Hollywood, |
|
||
| Florida. It had a row of revolving green lights, a row of yellow |
|
||
| windows, and an antenna. The heads of people could be seen looking |
|
||
| out from inside the windows of the craft. (Sources: David F. Webb & |

|
||

|
||
| crossed the highway in Lane City, Texas just 54 meters ahead of |
|
||
| the car at treetop level. It then stopped and hovered, and |
|
||
| finally sped away. (Sources: Houston Tribune, 19670223; Richard H. |

|
||
| close encounter with a metallic disc-shaped object with large windows |
|

|
||
| high-pitched sound. Her dog cowered in the snow, and the cattle |
|
||
| bolted. (Source: Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |

|
||
| wearing a one-piece uniform, and seemed to be dragging his feet as he |
|
||
| walked. He continued doing this activity for 20 minutes. No UFO was |
|
||
| seen at the time. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, FSR, October 1976, p. 6; |

||
| had a close encounter with a gray metallic, rounded disc-shaped |
|
||
| object the size of a house. It hovered over some trees giving off |
|
||

|
||
| light underneath. It made a deep, low-pitched sound like a |
|
||
| hydroelectric plant. (Source: Joe Graziano, APRO Bulletin, January |

|
||
| along a secondary road in Allen, Rio Negro Province, Argentina when |
|
||
| his engine suddenly cut out. He coasted to a stop and pulled over to |
|
||
| the side of the road. He next heard a loud buzzing sound coming |
|
||
| somewhere from his left and in close proximity. When he looked he |
|
||
| saw a small silvery mushroom-shaped disc hovering a meter over the |
|
||
| ground about 10 meters away. It appeared to be balancing itself with |
|
||
| short ascending and descending movements. At that moment his eyesight |
|
||
| began to become blurry. He next heard a deep "electronic" voice |
|
||
| coming from the object, which sounded somewhat threatening in nature. |
|
||
| It told him to step out of the truck. Frightened, he refused to move, |
|
||
| thinking he would be robbed. When he attempted to restart the truck |
|
||
| he felt a painful, tingling sensation in his neck and blacked out. He |
|

| experienced at least 20 minutes of missing time. When he woke up he |
|
||
| was unable to see clearly, with a buzzing sound in his ears and still |
|
||
| feeling some pain in his neck. He had some unexplained burns on |
|
||
| his skin. A passing motorist picked him up, and he was hospitalized |
|
||
| in a state of confusion, shock, and disorientation. (Sources: La |
